You're using the modesetting DDX, so the 2D acceleration comes from
glamor/OpenGL.
When the driver name cannot be retrieved, glamor will use ... well no
driver - aka swrast.

Possible solutions/workarounds:
 - try the intel ddx - not everyone is using it, it sees development
yet no releases :-\
 - audit the codepaths if one cannot get the driver name otherwise

Nobody had the time/interest to fix that up. I did fold the 5 (IIRC)
different codepaths in Mesa down to 1.
ETIME and EWORK kind of got in the way of fixing up the X server.

I guess it could go up my priority list, if employer (Collabora) suggests it ;-)
